What happened
Tesollo expects cumulative sales of its robotic hands and grippers to exceed 1,000 units by the end of 2026, and has named KB Securities as lead underwriter for a planned technology-based IPO in South Korea.
Why it matters
Approaching 1,000 cumulative units is seen by Tesollo as evidence of repeatable manufacturing, consistent quality and sustained demand for its articulated hands and grippers, which the company says are moving from research and proof-of-concept uses into industrial deployments.
WHO IT HITSThis matters most for robotics procurement teams and industrial automation engineers who source multi-finger robotic hands and grippers, since Tesollo is expanding production and supply to a broader global customer base.

Tesollo's sales trajectory is set against a shift in what robotics customers need: as humanoid robots and physical AI develop, companies are moving beyond mobility toward complex manipulation, making robotic hands that can interact with a wide variety of objects a critical part of the robotics stack. Tesollo says it has expanded from supplying primarily research and proof-of-concept applications toward a broader range of real-world deployments, including industrial environments.
To support that shift, the company expanded its production facilities in 2026 and upgraded its manufacturing infrastructure, with a production system covering assembly, inspection, quality control and shipment. CEO Youngjin Kim said robotic hands must move beyond technical demonstrations and become products that can be manufactured repeatedly at consistent quality and supplied reliably.
Tesollo's shareholder base has also evolved: Samsung Venture Investment and POSCO Technology Investment backed earlier growth stages, while HL Mando and Daesung Hi-Tech recently joined as direct investors in common equity and maintain collaborative relationships with Tesollo. Platinum Technology Investment is also an investor, and its largest shareholder, Jahwa Electronics, is in discussions with Tesollo around potential cooperation in manufacturing and business development. Alongside these industrial ties, Tesollo has appointed KB Securities as lead underwriter and is proceeding with preparations for a technology-based IPO in South Korea.
